Two early childhood exhibits to open at museum of science Two special early childhood exhibits, Curious George: Let’s Get Curious! and Science + You will both pay a visit to the Buffalo Museum of Science (BMS) February 7 through May 10, 2015. Presented locally by GEICO with education support from Doodle Bugs Children Centers, both exhibits are included with general museum admission and free for BMS Members and children under two. Curious George: Let’s Get Curious The insatiable curiosity of Curious George – the little monkey who has captured the imagination and hearts of millions of children and adults for almost 75 years – comes to life in Curious George: Let’s Get Curious! Sponsored nationally by 3M, the adorable exhibit introduces young children to Curious George’s world and leads visitors on a fun, meaningful interactive math, science and engineeringbased adventure. Based on the familiar characters in H.A. and Margret Rey’s classic stories published by Houghton Mifflin, the Curious George exhibit inspires young children’s natural curiosity as they explore early science, math and engineering through hands-on interactive play. The immersive exhibit environment takes place in the neighborhood where Curious George lives with his friend, The Man with the Yellow Hat. Visitors will recognize familiar characters and places featured in the classic stories and the new television series produced by Imagine Entertainment, WGBH Boston and Universal Studios Family Productions on

PBS KIDS. The exhibit’s content is based on educational standards developed by Minnesota Children’s Museum and an expert advisory panel to the PBS KIDS series, as well as national science and math standards for young children. Designed, developed and built by Minnesota Children’s Museum in partnership with Universal Studios Consumer Products Group, Curious George: Let’s Get Curious! began touring in September 2007. Inside the Exhibit Apartment Building Operate wheels to move George on pulleys from window to window. Climb the fire escape and climb inside to play with color, light and shadow. Sidewalk Produce Stand Play customer or salesperson and explore shape, sorting, weighing and counting with fruit and vegetables. Construction Site Climb into the construction trailer and design a building, then make use of a bounty of building materials and get to work constructing different structures and using machines to move materials. City Park Enjoy the urban green space: rest or give a hug to a full-size George and take a picture! Our youngest visitors will enjoy our busy wall activities for babies and toddlers. Mini Golf Use pipes, ramps, funnels, turntables, bumpers and force to experiment with physics and engineering as you putt through three holes of mini golf. Space Rocket

Two special early childhood exhibits, Curious George: Let’s Get Curious! and Science + You will both pay a visit to the Buffalo Museum of Science. Climb into the rocket Curious George took on his space adventure! Catch a glimpse of George in his space suit then take a picture from the control station and email it home. Farm Take a vacation to the country and visit the farm. Experience cause and effect and use wind power to move yard art like whirligigs, windmills, windsocks, and wind chimes. Build your own whirligig and care for the farm animals.

Museum Within the Museum Learn new things about George when you visit the Museum within the Museum. Follow H.A. and Margaret Rey’s work, the escape from France to safety during World War II that saved the Curious George manuscript, and Curious George throughout the years. Science + You Sponsored by the AbbVie Foundation, the Science + You exhibit offers a child-sized

laboratory where children can explore how scientists impact health and wellness. Through hands-on, interactive machinery, processes and technology, Science + You demonstrates the role science plays in keeping the body healthy. A demonstration area of the exhibit also will allow visiting scientists and educators to perform fun and interactive scientific experiments appropriate for young children. The exhibit was created by Kohl Children’s Museum of Greater Chicago, located in Glenview, Illinois. Since its debut there in 2011, the exhibit has traveled to museums in Washington, D.C. and San Francisco, as well as internationally to Germany and Brazil. “The Science + You exhibit is designed after research labs at AbbVie,” said Stephanie Bynum, vice president of programs at Kohl Children’s Museum. “We consulted with their scientists to find effective ways to communicate scientific discovery.” “We are thrilled to be a part of this unique and exciting exhibit that allows children to become young scientists,” said Tracie Haas, divisional vice president for corporate responsibility at AbbVie. “Using the hands-on tools, machines and processes in the exhibit will give them a better understanding of how scientists work, which will hopefully inspire an interest in science and the pursuit of future science careers.” Entering the Exhibit Children will enter the exhibit as if entering a real-life laboratory. At the first station they can pretend to wash their

hands, wipe their feet and shower before they put on their white lab coat and learn how important it is for scientists to work in a clean environment. Antibodies Demonstrating how antibodies act in the body, this component of the exhibit offers children the opportunity to understand a complex process through play by transferring germs (magnetic balls) from the body to a “white blood cell” tube using a moveable antibody. Glove Box Children can use a glovebox, a sealed container used by real-life scientists, with gloves built into the sides allowing one to manipulate objects safely. Demonstrating how scientists use a glovebox to contain materials as well as protect themselves, the children will wear thick gloves to measure substances using beakers, funnels and other lab equipment. Mixing and Separating Test Lab Exploring how scientists use machines to mix liquids and solids, this component of the exhibit demonstrates how different types of equipment function. Children can see the machines in action and can also manually mix and separate liquids and solids themselves. Magnification Area This exhibit features a specialized Wentzscope and video microscopes that magnify objects on a large video screen, allowing younger children to compare and contrast an array of natural and man-made items up close.

Local sports Nichols hockey players scrimmage U18 Team USA By Dave Ricci SPORTS REPORTER

It was a moment these young ladies won’t ever forget. Ten members of the Nichols School Prep A girls hockey team had one of the biggest thrills, and challenges, of their hockey careers when they took part in a scrimmage game against U18 Team USA on New Year’s Day the HarborCenter. Madison Welch, Olivia Zafuto, Abby Welch, Rachel de Perio, Marissa Higgins, Ashley Songin, Michele Robillard, Ellis Smith, Bridgette Prentiss and Ava Simoncelli joined forces with their teammates from the Niagara Junior Purple Eagles U19 club to face Team USA at the HarborCenter as a primer for the Women’s World Juniors that are being held in Buffalo this week. Hockey USA, well aware of the Niagara Junior Purple Eagles’ reputation for being a high-level program, reached out to NJPE to set up the scrimmage, which was played before a packed Rink 2 at the HarborCenter. The games with Team USA also included a memorable week for the Nichols/Niagara players as they also scrimmage Team Japan on New Year’s Eve and Team Sweden on Jan.3. Zafuto, Abby Welch and Taylor Wenczkowski all scored in the 3-1 win over Team Japan. “It’s been pretty cool,” said Olivia Zafuto. “I’ve played

DAN HICKLING

Members of the Nichols hockey team, who also play for the Niagara Junior Purple Eagles U19 team, scrimmaged Team USA on New Year’s Day. Team USA defeated the Purple Eagles, 8-0. with a lot of the girls on the USA team so it’s cool to play against them. One of the girls (Paige Voight) is on (the Purple Eagles). So it’s been pretty fun. Playing the girls from Japan was a really cool experience. Exchanging the (team) pins and everything. It’s been a good experience, seeing people (from) around the world. It’s pretty cool.” Displaying incredible speed, skills and team work all game long, Team USA was able to score an 8-0 win over Niagara Junior Purple Eagles. Though the score sheet looked lopsided, the Purple Eagles more than held their own against some of the best players in the world. “It was definitely a cool experience for a team,” said Abby Welch. “We got to play

one of the top teams out here, some of the the top players, so I think it kind of pushed us. I think we competed to their level.” Obviously wishing they could have come away with the victory, the Nichols/Niagara players looked at each of the scrimmages as a true learning experience that will make them all better players down the road. “We always talk about how every day, whether it be in practice or in games, you have a chance to measure yourself compared to other players out there,” said Scott Welch, who is the head coach for both Nichols and Niagara Jr. Purple Eagles U19. “And I think that today was that opportunity to measure their own skills against the best in

the world.” Scott Welch, knowing that his team was facing a very stiff challenge against Team USA, went with the approach of trying to look for the smaller victories along the way. Like treating each period as its own game and trying to win one period at a time NJPE received a sizable scare with just under two minutes remaining in the second period when a scrum in front of the net resulted in starting goalie Madison Welch sustaining what appeared to be a hip injury. Welch, who recently signed her letter of intent to play at Syracuse University, was on the ice for several minutes as she received medical attention. Welch eventually left

the ice with assistance from teammates. She did not return to the ice, but did watch the rest of the game from the stands in her street clothes. Playing two 20-minute periods in the first and second, the format of the game also saw a 10-minute third and seven-minute “fourth” period before the teams wrapped it up with a shootout. The shootout was special for Zafuto, who executed a dipsy-doodle move to put the puck bye Team USA’s starting keeper Kaitlin Burt. “It was pretty satisfying,” Zafuto said with a grin. “Topped it off.” Looking at life in DI college hockey down the road, the Nichols/NJPE girls felt that these three very intense

games against international teams will serve as a reminder for the kind of high-level game they will be seeing in college and how hard they will have to keep working. Just as important, though, the local girls know they will have some special war stories to tell in years to come. Exchanging team pins and posing for photos after each game, the girls from the 716, once again, saw that hockey is more than just about the game itself. “My dad was telling us in the locker room a lot of us want to be coaches when we’re older,” said Abby Welch. “So it’s (going to be) kind of a fun story to tell our kids or the team we’re coaching.”
